The Cruisy Wednesday Night Ride 2007/08

[DingoZ]

Takas in fine form tonight. Just been over to Martinborough and back. Only a long line of cars building before the roadworks upper hutt on Sh2. Other than that pretty nice over the hill tonight

[Radar]

Good ride this evening. Weather perfect.

About 25 bikes, most from Avalon, meeting at the Tin Hut.

Mechanics did a good job on Lissa's bike.

Here are some pics:

Nice ride. Only one more to go before daylight saving time finishes.

Some pics.

Yep good turnout, nice night. Good to see the Rapa crew.
And welcome to the new riders that came along tonight

[Dadpole]

With a bit of luck and time management (Tui) I will join you next week. That's if you don't mind a collection of dodgy old parts and fluid leaks following you around. (The bike is just as bad too).

One more eh. Wonder if I can run the bike in by next Wednesday?

[chazza404]

Dont like my chances of being there tomorrow after my bike's antics on Sunday of the rear shock disassembling itself and leaving me stranded in Masterton.

Sucks couldnt be fixed before tonights ride, i guess you got picked up after i left then heh

Further to this have a picture

[Rev DJ]

Great ride last night - good to catch up with a couple of the rapa riders too. (Thanks to Sel (and whoever else it was) for being TEC's.) One to go before daylight saving. It would be cool if we could get a big turnout for next Wednesday - the noise of the bikes cruising through U Hutt was awesome. Cheers DJ

[Lissa]

Thanks for a great night guys. Thanks for fixing my chain Mark Thanks for the bandit lessons, revved the crap out of my bike on the way home Doug... I need better ear plugs

[Lissa]

Pizza tonight is there?

You know we have been going on about this for about a year now, (well it feels like a year) Oneday, yes oneday we shall have some Pizza, even if I have to get elle to deliver it herself to Feathers in her lovely but rather unco Topbox.

[Terminated]

Lissa was great to catch up with you at the Tin Hut and spending a few minutes before the main group arrived....for some strange reason I just made the connection between: Pizza, The Tin Hut, and Faulty Towers, with Elle delivering the pizza, Manuel [Kiwibiker to be identified] taking the drinks orders, and Bassell Faulty [I'd volunteer but some say I am too organised] and of course Bassell's wife and the Major. Perhaps we may just have a theme for a ride one TCWNR next spring.

Best regards to you Sean, and see you in the spring time.

I'd like to thank all those that joined in these last six Wednesday Night Smaller Group Rides and to thank all those that ride in the main group that I meet at the Duckpond and have a chat before we set off on our respective rides.

To those that expressed their genuine concerns about why I elected to ride earlier on a Wednesday evening a sincere thank you and for taking the time to listen. Anxiety can be a dreadful condition, and whereas people can look at life's challenges in many different ways, for some it is very difficult. Learning to ride and to have accomplished so much in 22 months I am pleased with my riding ability and honoured to have met some real good down to earth people - and that is all of you.

My Best Regards.
Thank You and Until Next Spring:

Heads Up and Enjoy

Bloody conspiracy I tells ya. Man can't even get a decent Pizza.

Wastin' away to a shadow here...

"And DONT talk about the war....."

You must have had a fairly brisk run back last night Mark?

[Grub]

Don't forget we need O'Reilly to build a helmet shelf and bike stands - probably across the doorway i would think.

Truth be told I was moderately gobsmacked to see you lot in Upper Hutt, I'd taken fookin' ages to polish off me burger & chups and the barmaid chatted for some time after that.

I did get a good tow via a local Falcon ute, passing the pub at a good 160 just as I left, at least as far as Feathers'. Thought I was fairly restrained on the hill too, 'cause while the Buell's lights might be legal they probably shouldn't be.

I sota figured you'd stopped off somewhere for gas or sommat...
